Haier India supports the Malganga Andh ApangSeva Sanstha with its ‘New Vision College of Arts and Commerce’ for visually and physically challenged students

• Haier has been working with the MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha for the last few years to remove barriers to education for the visually and physically challenged students
• Through its support, the consumer appliances major looks to further cement its commitment towards inclusive education by supporting the needs of those who need special attention

PUNE: Haier, the global leader in Home Appliances & Consumer Electronics and World’s Number 1 brand in Major Appliances for 13 Consecutive Years*, in association with MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha, today laid the foundation stone for the Sanstha’s‘New Vision College of Arts and Commerce in Pune. Intending to increase the number of students every year in a sustainable effort, Haier has been supporting the Sanstha for the last few years.

New Vision College of Arts and Commerce is a new initiative of MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha to strengthen their commitment to enable visually and physically challenged students from urban and rural areas from all over the country. The college will continue to support the students by offering courses across fields such as arts, commerce, technology, etc., apart from encouraging them to partake in other activities including Paralympic sports, personality development, and technical skill development, which will enable them to reach their true potential and lead financially independent lives.

The MalagangaAndhApangSevaSanstha was established in 2005 by social worker JaieKhamkar who lost her sight at a young age and realized that visually and physically challenged students lacked basic access to education, thus hindering their progress in society. She started the Sanstha which uses state-of-the-art facilities, including computer-aided assistive technologies for teaching and learning for students. The Sanstha’s faculty and non-teaching staff are both sensitized to work with students with disabilities and undergo regular training sessions to understand their academic needs.

Supporting the Sanstha, Haier aims at making differently-abled students financially and socially independent so they can have a better quality of life. Through its consistent efforts, the Sanstha has educated and supported thousands of challenged students to not just earn a degree but also live a dignified life with independence.

Speaking on the occasion, JaieKhamkar, Founder President, MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha, said, “On behalf of the whole Sanstha, I am thrilled to lay the foundation stone of our new Vision College of Arts and Commerce. We will continue to work with visually and physically challenged students and provide them with an empowering educational space that will help them progress in life without fear. We are thankful to Haier for their continuous support and we look forward to working with them in the future as well.”

Expressing his thoughts, Satish N.S., President, Haier Appliances India, said, “Hearty congratulations to the MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha for laying the foundation stone of its ‘New Vision College of Arts and Commerce. We at Haier are proud to support Ms. JaieKhamkar’s relentless efforts towards inclusive education and the social progress of the students and will continue to cheer for them. Keeping true to our ‘Inspired Living’ philosophy, we look forward to taking inspiration from Ms. Khamkar and her students and contributing towards their empowerment.”

The foundation stone laying ceremony witnessed the presence of administrative officers, political leaders, senior officials from Haier Appliances India along with representatives of MalgangaAndhApangSevaSanstha, local villagers, and students of the New Vision College of Arts and Commerce.
